I've now merged this branch. As mentioned above, the logic pretty much stayed the same. Events are what is most likely to be different. So areas most likely to be problems include: things not updating after an action, or focus not being in the right place when you create a form. Next tool to be converted would be the secretary's workbench, which only uses React in four classes. This, however, will involve mouse and keyboard event handlers. The test ICLA tool should be straightforward to convert. The board agenda tool will be a massive undertaking. Not because it is particularly hard, but because of its size. - Sam Ruby
